The voicemail is a bit long today. While there are other examples, I got news today that a gentleman working for a large corporation made a blatant effort to crush Rapid RMS for his person gain. He probably has cost the project many tens of thousands this year alone. It has been one of the many things that have caused great difficulties and it may be fatal. It seems like I should just give up and take one of the numerous opportunities with a large corporation myself, especially considering offers now occasionally exceed $200K. However, I know it is Old Testament, but Leviticus 19 keeps going through my mind and I am trying to follow it. You may recall Jesus statement about the greatest commandments, as in Leviticus 19. I still think that is important. I will also contend that not only the state, but the large corporation has become our king. See 1Sam8. I failed at that in the past, saw it heavily influence many at Covenant Presbyterian, and refuse to be drawn back in.

I lament for ErikaLeigh’s failed fundraising effort and have already emailed her. I have read her novel and it was very well written and draws you in. I have been pleased that there is some renewed relationship with her. However, it concerns me that in a recent email I informed her of my maturing as a follower of Christ and asked where Brent and she stood on that. It was made clear that it was only a question. No response was received.

Some days later I wrote to Julia and Isaac including the same part of the email to them. She also did not address the question but did respond to something that was not asked. She stated that you are being obedient to the verses I attached. There was nothing attached, so I assume she is referring to the numerous expositions I have made. Let me be clear, she is very wrong on that. Just taking the easy 1Co7:11, 1Co6, Eph 5, 1 Pe 3 and the like would be a good start. But then the model of your dad who rejects Mat 5:24, distorts Mat 19, and doesn’t seem to have Mark 10 in his Bible. But then again he also refused to state if he subscribes to the Talmud or not. While I have read the PDF book he sent me and sent a response, he doesn’t even acknowledge the hardcopy of “Scripture Alone” that I sent him. What that suggests is obvious but I hope it is not true. He has been asked, but seems to have a phobia (a specifically chosen word) about making a reasoned statement of what he believes or defend it. See 1Pe3:15. What a joy it would be to have a serious dialog with him in mutual pursuit of reconciliation. It is the Lord’s direct command and I remain at the table.

From the distance I have been placed from my family, all I can see is an abandonment of the Lord or an embrace of a pseudo-Christ. But then there is the Kierkegaard quote I used on May 25th, and the text for the day is worth a read. I have become far more outgoing in my proclamation of the Gospel. The greatest rejection I get is from those whose allegiance seems to be toward an institution before the Lord. Jude 3 comes to mind again. However, I find so many that have been crushed in life and to offer grace, love, grace, point to obedience to the Lord, and grace has been marvelous.

When we read or sing “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases” from Lam 3:22 we should rejoice in His mercies. He commands husbands in Eph 5:25 to follow in His model. I cannot follow in the Lord’s model and also reject my wife, therefore, until the day I die, I will be available for reconciliation. Again, I remain at the table.

While my 70+ hour workweek has kept things slow, if you observe the maturing of the http://Kozlowski.org and notice that much of what was on the http://Family.Kozlowski.org site is moving to the public one, you will see that my effort to get past the censorship is continuing. You can inform Chris Bitterman that sending the police again will not stop me. Feel free to share with him my new address. I have been public about this on the web. Mentioned it on the radio in Chattanooga. I previously declined an opportunity for a modest but national radio program interview, but now am actively pursuing video podcast interviews that reach a very large audience. I’m taking this seriously and will not give up because I love my wife!
